After traveling around the world, I have come to realize that some of the best sailing is right here at home on the West Coast. I am thrilled to get on the road again as the US Sailing West Coast Tour Coordinator and look forward to covering the classic, the quirky, and the extreme as I hit all the stops between San Diego and the Gorge this summer. I will be participating at regattas, junior clinics, community outreach programs, STEM workshops, enrichment seminars and the America’s Cup – and want to hear from you!

US Sailing’s West Coast Tour Begins This Week at Olympic Day

Sailing is many things to many people and US Sailing is out to highlight the sport through its West Coast Tour. Modeled on the popular Roadshow format, US Sailing will visit sailing organizations throughout the West Coast focusing on signature regattas, junior and adult learn-to-sail clinics, community outreach programs, US Sailing Speaker Series, Regional Sailing Program Symposiums, Safety-at-Sea Seminars, and more.

The West Coast Tour launches this Thursday, July 11 at Olympic Day, hosted by Newport Harbor Yacht Club in conjunction with the So Cal Junior Olympic Sailing Festival in Newport Beach, Calif. The West Coast Tour will run through September, 2013.
